No matter what

What would you do? If a filly that's homeless, cold, hungry and scared arrived in Ponyvillie. Begging for love. I took her in. Even if she uses Dark magic.

What would you do?
A filly wonders into Ponyvillie. Cold, hungry and scared. You would help the filly. Even if the residents hate her because she accidentally uses Dark magic? Even if Twilight wants to study her? Against her will?
No one should grow up like this.
I shall give her warmth, food, water and most important love.
No matter what!

"No! This is an breakthrough! No pony has a cutie mark for Dark magic! Th-"

"Your going to do test on a filly against her will!"

"Oh why do your care! Hmm! Just because she is one of an kind like you! You two are made for testing!"

"Wh-what did you just say?"

"Oh...no"

*CRASH*

"I...I didn't mean it...Stop!...you got that look in your eye!...Please...I'm sorry...Please...Ple-"

Pet:Shadow (Komodo Dragon. Female)

I got one job today. However it's a big one. "Zephon!" I focus back to the real world to see I was at Mr Rich mansion. I turn to my left to the source of the sound. A pony was standing there.

"Ah! Morning Mr Rich! So what have you got for me today?"

Rich flashes his trademark smile. "See that storage house there?" I turn and see the building he was talking about. "Well I need you to move all that is inside to the town hall." Hmm doesn't seem that bad. "I pay you well as you have a lot to move and they are light!" But why doesn't h- "I would hire more to help you but your the only one I really trust!" Ah bingo! "You have no time limit. So do you accept?"

I turn and shake Mr Rich hoof. We then go our separate ways. I head over to the storage area and open the door. God Celestia damn it Mr Rich! Inside was (from what I could see) 10 wooden beams, 3 chests and...really? A statue of an pony. Pony size.

I mite as well get stared. Now this may seem like an hard job...well it is. This planet is not Earth so my body receives an boost. A small one. A strength, speed and more. I notice a wagon in the far back. Good...now my job should be much easier.

After a while all is loaded on the wagon. I grab the handles and pull. Heavy but I can manage. I continue to pull the wagon.

As soon as I'm out of the storage area I see how far I have to go. Looks like I'm going to be at the town hall at...night...great. Sorry Shadow.

Hours have past and I'm only entering Ponyvillie. I'm starting to sweat. I notice a paper stand nearby. I stop and let go of the wagon. I shout out to the pony working their and throw him a bit. He catches it and throws me a paper. I catch and open it.

Not much was going on lately. Blueblood Skip. AJ Skip. Dangerous missing filly Skip...wait what!

Fire ponies had the put out a fire that happened at the Royal sisters castle today. The fire caused huge property damage but nopony got hurt. The Princesses could not tell us what happened but they put out a missing report for a filly called Astra.

A scroll was attached to the paper. I open to see the reporter was right.

Missing
Astra
Today a filly name Astra has gone missing. The princesses have put out a red alert for this filly. If you see this filly please contact your nearest Royal guard.

I look at the picture provided. It was a filly that had grey fur and spiky purple hair with a few red highlights. She was also a unicorn with a cutie mark that was similar to Twilight. In fact it was Twilight cutie mark. However the purple star was black while the white stars were red...but...one thing caught my eye. The filly looked horrible. Not in beauty. She looked desperate. She had bags under her eyes, her eyes were bloodshot, tears ran down her checks and she had the most heart piercing upside down smile ever...eh I think Pinkie is rubbing off me.

Well if that filly comes here than she going to have to run away as you don't want be near Twilight. Celestia student. I tuck the paper between my arm and continue my work.

Finally that's over. Once I arrived at the town hall the mayor thanked me and I went to pick up my money. Mr Rich was true to his word and gave me an huge bag of bits. Now I am walking up the hill my house is on.

I arrive at my location and go inside. My vision is suddenly blinded. I however don't freak out. I reach a hand towards my face and feel a claw. "Oh shadow." I reach out higher and and pick up my pet. I walk over to the sofa and sit down. I rest shadow on my lap. "I miss you too."

Finally I'm away from them but...now I feel so alone. I look around my so called room. I then look at my cutie mark. Had to be somepony.

I felt a tear roll down my muzzle. So much has happened in this month. Found out about my cutie mark. Become hated by Canterlot. Monster! Lose all my friends. My family no longer with me. Celestia and Luna taking me in after me being 'unstable'. Well more like force me as they didn't take no as an answer.

They say it's going to be ok. I was ok with this as all I wanted was to be loved. However overtime I learned they don't love me. Even Celestia. If they love me then why do they force me to do these test? Why do they force me to stay inside?

My vision slowly turns green. No! Must stay calm! Breath in and out. I...I just sleep and think about this later.

Goodnight mum. Goodnight dad.


Here I am again. Long test for Celestia again. "Astra." I turn towards Celestia. "You ok?" She puts a wing over me. I just shake it off.

"No." I start to walk towards the window. "I feel empty. I need somepony. I needed to be loved." I hear hooves coming towards me.

I turn to Celestia to suddenly be hugged. I try to break out only for the hug to tighten. "Shh my little pony. Don't say that. I love you and so does Luna."

Something snapped inside of me when she said that. "No..." I quickly teleport a few meters away from her. "Stop it!"

I see Celestia face turn into confusion. "Don't be silly we do love you."

"No! Stop lying to me!" My vision is slowly becoming green. Celestia tries to speak again as her look becomes a face of fear. "No! You don't! I can't take it! I can see I'm not wanted here!" She takes a step forward. "Stop!" She takes one more. She is about to take one more. "I SAID STOP!"
